Mocha Mousse: Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year

Each year, Pantone selects a Colour of the Year that influences trends across fashion, interior design, and product development. For 2025, the chosen shade is Mocha Mousse, a warm, sophisticated brown that embodies comfort, versatility, and timeless appeal. This earthy tone brings a sense of grounding and elegance, making it an excellent choice for office spaces seeking a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.

Mocha Mousse is more than just a colour—it represents stability, resilience, and understated luxury. Its rich, neutral quality allows it to pair seamlessly with various colour palettes, making it a perfect addition to contemporary workspaces. Whether used as a dominant shade or an accent, Mocha Mousse has the power to transform offices into stylish and inviting environments.

Additionally, this colour looks fantastic in many fabrics – boucle, leather, quilted and can be matched with complementary colours on chairs with split fabric options. Boucle fabric is still very popular in office soft seating environments, and looks great in mocha mousse.

Setting the Mood: The Impact of Mocha Mousse on Office Spaces

Colour psychology plays a significant role in interior design, influencing mood, productivity, and overall well-being. Mocha Mousse offers several benefits that make it an ideal choice for office environments:

• Warmth and Comfort: The earthy undertones create a welcoming and inviting space, making employees and visitors feel at ease.
• Sophistication and Elegance: This refined shade adds a touch of luxury to offices, whether used in furniture, walls, or accessories.
• Calm and Focus: The neutral, non-distracting nature of Mocha Mousse fosters a serene environment, enhancing concentration and reducing workplace stress.

By incorporating Mocha Mousse into office design, businesses can create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing workspace that promotes both relaxation and efficiency.

How to Incorporate Mocha Mousse Chairs into Office Spaces

With Advanta offering fully customised fabric options, Mocha Mousse inspired office chairs can now be requested, making it the perfect time to explore how to integrate this sophisticated shade into different workplace settings.

At the Office Desk

A Mocha Mousse office chair can seamlessly complement neutral or wooden desks, creating a cohesive and stylish look. Pairing this warm tone with soft greys, muted blues, or crisp whites enhances its elegance, while greenery and natural textures can add a fresh, organic feel. This colour choice also helps maintain a grounded and focused workspace without overwhelming the surroundings.

Boardrooms

Incorporating Mocha Mousse chairs into boardrooms can elevate the professional ambiance while fostering a welcoming environment for meetings and collaboration. This shade pairs well with darker wood tones, glass tables, and metallic accents, making the space feel polished and sophisticated. The warmth of the colour also encourages constructive discussions by creating a balanced, neutral setting.

Waiting and Reception Areas

First impressions matter, and Mocha Mousse chairs in reception areas can immediately establish a sense of sophistication and comfort. When used alongside soft lighting and textured décor elements, these chairs create a relaxed yet professional atmosphere, leaving visitors with a positive and lasting impression.

Breakout Spaces

Breakout areas should promote relaxation and casual collaboration. Mocha Mousse chairs in these spaces provide a warm and inviting touch, complementing neutral palettes or bolder accent colours like terracotta, mustard, or deep green. Whether paired with coffee tables or modular seating arrangements, this colour can enhance a sense of comfort and encourage informal teamwork.

High Worktops and Stools

For high-top tables and collaborative workstations, Mocha Mousse stools offer both style and functionality. This colour works well in open-plan offices, maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic while adding warmth to otherwise industrial-style furnishings. Paired with matte black or brushed metal finishes, Mocha Mousse stools can create a contemporary and dynamic workspace.

The Future of Office Design with Mocha Mousse

As workplaces evolve, the demand for aesthetically pleasing and functional office furniture continues to grow. Mocha Mousse represents a shift towards warmer, more inviting environments that prioritise well-being and design harmony.

Advanta’s upcoming Loria office chair will allow businesses to embrace this trend with high-quality seating solutions that balance comfort, durability, and elegance. By integrating this colour into office interiors, companies can create a sophisticated yet welcoming workspace that stands out in 2025 and beyond.

In addition to the new Loria office chair, you can select this colour on any fabric on any of our chairs, thanks to our custom upholstery options.
